This is me! Carole from Issy Bears first suggested that I join BBN - so a big thank you to you Carole:0)

Okay, I'm 25 years young, and work from home part-time for the family business, which gives me the opportunity to spend loads of time with the two dogs in my life, Murphy & Indy! I am a humble bear collector, who started collecting artist bears at the beginning of this year - my only new years resolution, which has been very easy to stick to!!! I also love Russ Berrie bears.

I have 'met' some great people on this list, so a special Hello to Mel, Lisa, Kerren, Carole, Maureen & Keith - Hi Guys! I have also been very fortunate to have adopted bears from each of these talented people - the bears say Hi to you all:0) It's great to be part of a list where like minded people discuss their passion for bears openly. At home everyone thinks I am a nut-case collecting bears at "my age", mind you they think I'm a bit mad anyway!! Always a pleasure to read my emails lately - thanks people of BBN!
